Installation Guide

Getting Started

WARNING!

Computer motherboards and expansion cards contain very delicate Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. To protect them against damage from static electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on your computer.

1. Unplug your computer when working on the inside.

2. Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. If you do not have one, touch both of your hands to a safely grounded object or to a metal object, such as the power supply case.

3. Hold components by the edges and try not touch the IC chips, leads or connectors, or other components.

4. Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the components whenever the components are separated from the system.

5. Ensure that the ATX power supply is switched off before you plug in or remove the ATX power connector on the motherboard.

Installing the motherboard to the chassis…

If the motherboard has mounting holes, but they don’t line up with the holes on the base and there are no slots to attach the spacers, do not become alarme d you can still attach the spacers to the mounting holes. Just cut the bottom portion of the spacers (the spacer may be a little hard to cut off, so be careful of your hands). In this way you can still attach the motherboard to the base without worrying about short circuits. Sometimes you may need to use the plastic springs to isolate the screw from the motherboard PCB surface, because the circuit wire may be near by the hole. Be careful, don’t let the screw contact any printed circuit write or parts on the PCB that are near the fixing hole, otherwise it may damage the board or cause board malfunctioning.

Suspend To RAM Installation (Optional)

A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (STR) is a Windows 98/ME/2000 ACPI sleep mode function. When recovering

from STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a few seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory (RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup

Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98/ME/2000 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98/ME/2000 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

Setup with Windows 98/ME/2000 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98/ME/2000 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run. B. Type (without quotes) C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system (This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

Introduce Dual BIOS (Optional)

A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?

Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the

Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while the system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing has happened in your BIOS.

Introduce Dual BIOS

DualBIOS

GIGABYTE T echnology is pleased to introduce DualBIOS technology, a hot spare for your system BIOS. This newest “Value-added” feature, in a long series of innovations from GIGABYTE, is available on GA-6OXET Series motherboard. Future GIGABYTE motherboards will also incorporate this innovation.

What’s DualBIOSTM?

On GIGABYTE motherboards w6ith DualBIOS there are physically two BIOS chips. For simplicity we’ll call one your “Main BIOS” and the other we’ll call your “Backup” BIOS (your “hot spare”). If your Main BIOS fails, the Backup BIOS almost automatically takes over on your next system boot. Almost automatically and with virtually zero down time! Whether the problem is a failure in flashing your BIOS or a virus or a catastrophic failure of the Main BIOS chip, the result is the same - the Backup BIOS backs you up, almost automa tically.

Technology FAQ

Page 58

6OXET Series Motherboard

I. Q: What is DualBIOSTM technology? Answer:

DualBIOS technology is a patented technology from Giga-Byte Technology. The concept of this technology is based on the redundancy and fault tolerance theory. DualBIOS means there are two system BIOSes (ROM) integrated onto the motherboard. One is a main BIOS, and the other is a backup BIOS. The mainboard will operate normally with the main BIOS, however, if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons, the backup BIOS will be automatically used when the system powered-On. Your PC will oper ate as before the main BIOS was damaged, and is completely transparent to the user.

technology simply

II. Q: Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOS

technology?

Answer:

In today’s systems there are more and more BIOS failures. The most common reasons are virus attacks, BIOS upgrade failures, and/or deterioration of the BIOS (ROM) chip itself.

1. New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS. They may corrupt your BIOS code, causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally.

2. BIOS data will be corrupted if a po wer loss/surge occurs, or if a user resets the system, or if the power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS upgrade.

3. If a user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file, then the system may not be able to boot correctly. This may cause the PC system hang in operation or during boot.

4. A flash ROM's life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics. The modern PC utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS, and is updated regularly. If a user changes peripherals often, there is a slight chance of damage to the flash

With Giga-Byte Technology’s patented DualBIOS hangs during system boot up, and/or loss BIOS data due to above reasons. This new technology will eliminate valuable system down time and costly repair bills cause by BIOS failures.

III. Q: How does DualBIOSTM technology work? Answer:

1. DualBIOSTM technology provides a wide range of protection during the boot up procedure. It

protects your BIOS during system POST, ESCD update, and even all the way to PNP detection/assignment.

2. DualBIOS

provides automatic recovery for the BIOS. When the first BIOS used during boot up does not complete or if a BIOS checksum error occurs, boot-up is still possible. In the DualBIOS backup BIOS is corrupted, the DualBIOS wrong BIOS automatically.

provides manual recovery for the BIOS. DualBIOSTM technology contains a built-in flash utility, which can flash your system BIOS from backup to main and/or visa versa. There is no need for an OS-dependent flash utility program.

4. DualBIOS

contains a one-way flash utility. The built-in one-way flash utility will ensure that the corrupt BIOS is not mistaken as the good BIOS during recovery and that the correct BIOS (main vs. backup) will be flashed. This will prevent the good BIOS from being flashed.

IV. Q: Who Needs DualBIOSTM technology? Answer:

1. Every user should have DualBIOSTM technology due to the advancement of computer viruses. Everyday, there are new BIOS-type viruses discovered that will destroy your system BIOS. Most commercial products on the market do not have solutions to guard against this type of virus intrusion. The DualBIOS your PC: Case I.) Vicious computer viruses may wipe out your entire system BIOS. With a conventional single system BIOS PC, the PC will not be functional until it is sent for repairs. Case II.) If the "Auto Recovery" option is enabled in the DualBIOS corrupts your system BIOS, the main BIOS. Case III.) A user may override booting from the main system BIOS. The DualBIOS be entered to manually change the boot sequence to boot from the backup BIOS.

2. During or after a BIOS upgrade, if DualBIOSTM detects that the main BIOS is corrupt, the backup BIOS will take over the boot-up process automatically. Moreover, it will verify the main and backup BIOS checksums when booting-up. DualBIOS checksum of the main and backup BIOS while the system is powered on to guarantee your BIOS operates properly.

3. Power Users will have the advantage of having two BIOS versions on their mainboard. The benefit is being able to select either version BIOS to suit the performance system needs.

4. Flexibility for high-end desktop PCs and workstation/servers. In the DualBIOSTM utility, the option can be set, "Halt On When BIOS Defects," to be enabled to halt your system with a warning message that the main BIOS has been corrupted. Most workstation/servers require constant operation to guarantee services have not been interrupted. In this situation, the "Halt On When BIOS Defects" message may be disabled to avoid system pauses during normal booting. Another advantage you gain from Giga-Byte’s DualBIOS upgrade from dual 2 Mbit BIOS to dual 4 Mbit BIOS in the future if extra BIOS storage is need.

Windows overdrive utilit y

“Overdrive” might be one of the most common issues in computer field. But have many users ever tried it? The answer is probably “no”. Because “overdrive” is thought to be very difficult and includes a lot of technical know-how, sometimes “overdrive” is even

considered as special skills found only in some enthusiasts.

But as to the experts in “overdrive”, what’s the truth? They may spend quite a lot of time and money to study, try and use many different hardware and software tools to do “overdrive”. And even with these technologies, they still learn that it’s quite a risk because the safety and stability of an “overdrive“ system is unknown.

Now everything is different because of a Windows overdrive utility EasyTune rule of “overdrive”. This is the first overdrive utility suitable for both normal and power users. Users can choose either “Easy Mode” or “Advanced Mode” to run “overdrive” at their convenience. For users who choose “Easy Mode”, they just need to click “Auto Optimize” to have auto and immediate CPU overclocking. This software will then overdrive CPU speed automatically with the result being shown in the control panel. If someone prefers to “overdrive” by oneself, there is also another choice. Click “Advanced Mode” to enjoy “sport drive” class overclocking. In “Advanced Mode”, one can change the system bus speed in small increments to get ultimate system performance. And no matter which mainboard is used, if it’s a Gigabyte’s product*, EasyTune

Besides, different from other traditional over-clocking methods, EasyTune doesn’t require users to change neither BIOS nor hardware switch/ jumper setting; on the other hand, they can do “overdrive” at only one click. Therefore, this is a safer way for “overdrive” as nothing is changed on software or hardware. If user runs EasyTune again and the side effect is then well controlled. Moreover, if one well-performed system speed been tested in EasyTune “Load” it in next time. Obviously, Gigabyte EasyTune “overdrive” technology toward to a newer generation.
